The highly anticipated Fayetteville Dogwood Fall Festival is set to take place from Oct. 20 to 22 at Festival Park in Downtown Fayetteville. 

Enjoy hayrides, explore unique vendors, savor tasty food trucks and dance to live music on Friday and Saturday. The festivities begin Friday 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday noon until 10 p.m., and Sunday noon until 6 p.m. 

Jackie Tuckey, a member of the Dogwood Festival Board for more than 10 years, stated “I love Dogwood Festival and I’ve really enjoyed being on the board, and I like giving back to the community…Dogwood’s always been a family event, whether you're on the back end working or you come out to have fun.”

The Fayetteville Dogwood Fall Festival has become a cherished annual tradition in the region, celebrating the spirit of fall and bringing together the community for a memorable weekend. With its focus on family fun, arts, entertainment and the beautiful fall season, this festival promises to create lasting memories for all who attend. 

“Come out, have fun, join us for some food and a couple of beers and we'll have a great time,” stated Tuckey.

The festival is still looking for more volunteers. More information about how you can help out at this year’s Dogwood Fall Festival will soon be posted on the festival website here.
